Evidence-Based Care Program: Subcutaneous Insulin Order Set Overview
The Grey Bruce Health Network (GBHN) collaborates with multiple healthcare providers to implement an Evidence-Based Care Program, which includes 10 pathways and nearly 120 order sets and protocols related to patient care. These order sets are designed for physicians, while pathways serve as tools for nurses, allowing them to provide effective treatment based on best practices. The program aims to enhance patient outcomes by reassessing current methodologies and adapting to evidence-based practices. For queries, contact Andrea Rawn at arawn@gbhs.on.ca.

Order Sets and Pathways • Grey Bruce Health Network (GBHN) is a collaboration of 3 corporations, CCAC and Public Health • Grey Bruce Health Services – 6 sites • Hanover and District Hospital – 1 site • South Bruce Grey Health Centre – 4 sites • Evidence Based Care Program has 10 pathways and almost 120 order sets and protocols • Order Sets are “owned” by the physician • Pathways/Doc in Plan “owned” by the nurses
Order Sets are a TOOL for the physician and can only be implemented by the physician • Orders not required can be stroked out, while other orders can be added • Pathways/Doc in Plans are TOOLS for the nurses • Nurses can implement these without a physician order and critique the care based on the individual patient • Both are based on best practice, practice guidelines, and are evidence based where evidence is available
Change • How can we change what we do to effectively have a direct impact on patient outcomes? • Is it possible to change habits?
